Virga attended St. Bonaventure University, (B.A., 1964) and Yale University (1964-1965). In 1964 at Yale he met fellow student James McCourt, who was to become his life partner. They were both enrolled in the acting program at Yale School of Drama, but Virga was not happy with the teaching at Yale, and therefore he and McCourt left to explore the theater scene in London. They lived in London from 1964 to 1967 and again from 1969 to 1971, both doing odd-jobs.{{cite book |last1=Curry |first1=Jennifer |title=World Authors, 2000-2005 |date=2007 |publisher=H.W.
